Some hobby scammers being discussed. My first thought would have been an auction ending that night which was having network issues.

google says----Headlines January 17, 2006
11th attacks the NSA began sending a flood of telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and names to the F.B.I. in search of possible terrorists. This forced the FBI to send out hundreds of agents to check out thousands of tips every month.

I most likely wasn't on here, but will claim that I was so that I can feel like I was part of history being made.
